Chapter 983 Undefeated One Year
Chapter 983 An Undefeated Year
After the game against Sunderland, the Manchester City club organized a Christmas dinner internally, inviting players and their families to attend, and everyone gathered together and had a good meal.
It was also City's only lighthearted moment of Christmas.
Next, there are intensive competitions.
Just after Christmas, the next day is Manchester City's game against Stoke City.
Before this game, the Manchester City Club officially announced that the injured Robinho has returned from injury.
So a reporter asked Benitez at a regular press conference when Robinho would be able to play again.
Benitez did not give a clear answer.
"It depends on the specific situation..." Benitez said.
"Will Robinho's comeback have some impact on David Silva's starting lineup?" A Spanish reporter asked, and he was most concerned about this issue.
"I don't think so." Benitez shook his head.
After the Spanish reporter heard the coach's answer, he showed a relaxed expression.
It is normal for a Spanish journalist to care about the situation of Spanish players.
But Benitez's answer sounded like a different feeling to the ears of those Brazilian reporters.
His answer is definitely not good news for Robinho.
Because he told everyone clearly that even if Robinho returns from injury, it is impossible to return to the starting lineup...
So the next day, similar reports appeared in the Brazilian media.
"Benitez: Robinho will not return to the starting lineup!"
"Benitez prefers David Silva!"
"Care between Spanish fellows?"
"Benitez abandons Robinho!"
……
The Brazilian media naturally supported Robinho. Robinho was injured before and could not play in the game.Now that Robinho has returned from injury, Benitez still said that he would not consider letting Robinho replace David Silva, and the Brazilian media couldn't sit still.
However, the reports and criticisms of these media far away in Brazil obviously cannot pose any threat to Benitez.
Benitez may not have heard the appeal of the Brazilian media at all...
In short, in the No.19 league round, Manchester City's home game against Stoke City, David Silva is still the starter.
And Robinho entered the bench.
From this point of view, Benitez did not give up Robinho as some Brazilian media said.
As a player who has just recovered from injury, it is quite normal for Robinho not to start the game, and entering the substitute lineup means that there is still a chance to come off the bench.Gradually find the feeling of the game by coming off the bench.
In this game, David Silva still played very well. Although he did not score or assist, he was active in the frontcourt of the team and caused trouble for Stoke City's defense many times.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 2-0 at their home court.
Robinho came off the bench in the No.707 minute, and he replaced David Silva.
After consecutive battles, David Silva's physical strength was a little weak. After all, he was injured during the summer pre-season training and missed the training opportunity for physical reserve, which made David Silva's physical strength unable to keep up with the team's rhythm.
Robinho, who came on as a substitute for David Silva, performed mediocrely and did not have any outstanding performances.Because the performance of David Silva he replaced was too good, so Robinho did not perform well...
What started out as mediocre performance turned into poor performance in the end.Robinho is actually a little wronged.
The Brazilian media were dissatisfied with Benitez giving Robinho 15 minutes of game time.
Of course, Benitez still cannot see or hear.
Three days later, Manchester City challenged Wolves away.
This game is a very important game for Manchester City, and this game will also be a game that will be written in history for English football.
Because if Manchester City beat Wolves away, they will remain unbeaten in the natural year of 2009!
At the same time, if Manchester City wins this game, then they will achieve forty unbeaten brilliant results!
In fact, Manchester City has already made history.
Before this game, the longest unbeaten streak in the top league in their club history was 39 games, which was created in Manchester City's victory over Stoke City-yes, every game of Manchester City is writing a new legend of their club.
Before this Manchester City, Manchester City's unbeaten record in the top league was 22 games, and that was the 1936-1937 season.At that time, Manchester City's coach Wilf Wilder led the team to create a record of 22 unbeaten games in the top league.
But now this record has been greatly rewritten by Benitez's team.
And throughout 2009, Manchester City did not lose a game!
Not just in the league, but in the FA Cup, the Champions League, the League Cup.
Manchester City maintained a complete victory in the first half of this year. They also defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup and won the championship.
In the second half of the year, there was no FA Cup, but there was the Champions League and the League Cup. Manchester City also maintained a good record of victory in the Champions League and the League Cup.
Coupled with the league and the Community Shield, this year, Manchester City has not lost all the games!
This is a very amazing achievement, before this, no team in the whole of England can do this.
Even Arsenal, which has created 49 consecutive unbeaten games, has not achieved the achievement of not losing a game in a year...
Now Manchester City only needs to win this last game, and they can become the number one in English football history!
※※※
"Since the beginning of this year, Manchester City has stunned us countless times, but when this moment is approaching, we still can't even imagine... When our impression is still on that league lift and that big team, they have accomplished such a remarkable achievement!"
"It's been a whole year without losing a game. What a great performance! This Manchester City team is simply dominant in English football today!"
……
Before the start of the game against Wolves, the media focus in England was on Manchester City's achievements in the past year.
"Manchester Evening News" gave this year a name: "a great year for Manchester City".
"...In 2009, which is about to pass, it obviously belonged to Manchester City. This team was still the object of ridicule in the previous year, but now, they have made everyone look up. Beating them is the common goal of everyone. But unfortunately, until now, no one can beat Manchester City! Can Wolves do it? To be honest, although Wolves play at home, I am not very optimistic that they can beat Manchester City at home. In this last game the boat capsized in the gutter..."
This was supposed to be an ordinary league game, and the strength of the two sides is very different. It stands to reason that there should not be so much attention.
But who made this game instilled with other meanings?
Seems like a milestone.
After this game, Manchester City created a great legend.
And if you lose this game, all the previous praises will turn into fireworks in the air, and after blooming, they will disappear with the wind, leaving nothing but the smell of gunpowder.
All reporters, media and fans are paying attention to this game.
※※※
In this game, David Silva is still the starter, not Robinho, who has returned from injury.
After Robinho returned from injury, he entered the squad for two consecutive games, but failed to start.
In the away game, Manchester City turned away from the beginning and besieged the Wolves' penalty area.
David Silva is still a very active Manchester City player, and his cooperation with Rongguang is as tacit as ever.
No. At 207 minutes, he assisted Rong Guang to score the first goal of the game.
"Rong! Rong!! This is his No.15 league goal this season! This is also his four goals this year!"
"He is still the omnipotent Rong! In this great year of Manchester City, Rong's outstanding performance is indispensable!"
After scoring the goal, Rong Guang took the initiative to run to hug David Silva.
The commentators also cheered for David Silva: "David Silva, this is his sixth assist in the league this season! He is the second assister in the team after Sneijder, and the number of assists is the same as Glory. But you must know that he has only played the main force in the past month or so..."
"David Silva makes Manchester City's offense more efficient and more threatening!" The Spanish commentator cheered for David Silva.
※※※
Watching other teammates flock to David Silva, then hug him and celebrate.
Robinho sat on the bench with a gloomy face.
At the same time, the TV broadcast cut to a close-up of Robinho.
Robinho in the close-up looks very serious.
The narrator didn't say much at this time, but everyone could see the meaning of this shot.
With Robinho back from injury for two games, David Silva's performance showed no signs of decline. How did this allow Robinho to successfully counterattack?
At this time, Benitez really has no reason to replace the fiery David Silva, and then let Robinho, who has been absent from the game for more than a month due to injury, start...
※※※
Rong Guang's goal opened the door to victory for Manchester City.According to special statistics, Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League to play downwind. As long as they score first, their winning percentage is very high.
However, as Manchester City's opponents, the Wolves' performance is still very qualified.
They didn't give up on themselves after losing the ball.
Instead, continue to deal with Manchester City.
Clearly they don't want to be a stepping stone to City's record...
But their performance has added a lot of gold to Manchester City's game.
Make Manchester City's record even more meaningful!
